Before starting a family, Karen worked on large scale web application projects as a Project Manager. Once the family started to grow, Karen left the corporate world to follow her passion and began working part time in animal related fields. Karen has worked as a Veterinary Technician and is in the process of becoming a certified professional dog trainer. Her detail orientated nature and experience working with animals makes her a perfect fit at Creature Comfort as the Evaluations Coordinator. Karen has three certified therapy animals which include her Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Great Dane and a very cuddly rabbit. Karen loves getting out on visits with her pets or anything related to the outdoors with her family.
